Dear Editor,
Don’t we all need to answer Trump’s … “So What!”
Last week, unsealed evidence in one of Trump’s legal cases regarding efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election showed that in the hours after his Jan. 6 rally turned to violence and learning Vice President Mike Pence was moved to safety, Trump responded, “So What?”
Trump’s answer to everything is: So What!
So what if I want to be a Dictator?
So what if I lie?
So what if I throw my Vice President to the wolves?
So what if I incite my followers to attack the U.S. Capitol?
So what if I leaned on state officials to fix the election?
So what if I undermine democracy?
So what if I use the office of the presidency to enrich myself and my family?
So what if I break my oath of office?
So what if the only person I care about is me?
So what America?
So what will be your answer on election day to Donald J. Trump’s “So What?”
